I can tricep press 20# 10 times with right arm only; probably not very good. But, for someone who is 6'2" and wears a 35" sleeve, it seems I ought to be getting more leverage with a Hitting procedure.
I think you should. There could be any number of reasons. I find often that Swingers lose a good Release Point when trying to Hit. Firstly, because the Right Arm Throw is so foreign, you must learn a new feel through the new mechanic. Then it must be timed. The Start Down must be slow, then it has to be a crescendo of acceleration.
